page [click the link for Junior Cyclocross Series after navigating to the

The JCS Results are slightly different from the overall Hood River results
because the over 18 High School kids have been removed. They are in the High
School series, but not Junior Series.
Wow what a great turn out at Hood River with some fantastic racing. The mud
bog tested everyone's running ability, and the long straight grass sections
tested everyone's cycling power. A great course and good first test.
There are some familiar faces from last year showing they have brought some
good form into this season.
Sam Rosenburg & Haley Wilson who won their JCS categories last year have
continued their winning ways in Round 1 for 2010. Taylor Tyynismaa took out
a couple of wins last year in the JCS but did not do enough races to qualify
for the series overall. This year she plans to make all the races so look
out Girls 17-18.
Perrin Falkner is new to bike racing and had an impressive ride, as did
Suzanna Hart (did not race the JCS last year). Grayson Szczukowski raced to
a solid 4th place in last years JCS and has set the early bench mark in the
Boys 11-12.
Colin Dunlap had a smoking great ride beating all the 17+ Boys out of the
15-16 age group, and with Cary Adams hot on his tail setting the bench mark
in the 17-18 category.
Nice job everyone.
Next Saturday, 9/25 is Round two of the JCS at Camp Harlo in Eugene.
Remember that I have your Heed (Hammer Nutrition) covered for the race. I
will have the 5 gallon cooler set up with the flavor of the week. What is
your favorite flavor? Also, like last week I will have some of our grand
prizes and awards on display so you can check them out. Wheels from Rolf
Prima, Bikes/Frames from Redline. Series leader Jerseys from Castelli. See
you there!
Also please note that we have modified the Series schedule. The original
round 7 race was canceled by the promoter. There was not a viable
alternative to add onto the schedule so the Junior Series has shifted from
an 8 race series to 7. Still must compete in 5 to qualify for series awards.
